ABOUT THE ART
Cheriyal paintings are generally considered to be the pictorial presentation of scenes from Indian mythological epics such as Ramayana, Mahabharata, Krishna Leela, and other mythological scripts.
But, Cheriyal paintings also primarily told stories of all 7 castes of the village, the fisherman, washerman, tadi collectors, barbers, weavers and farmers.
There were dedicated community of bards attached to each caste who would narrate mythological tales of their people. The storytelling was accompanied by music and role play. Cheriyal masks were put on by the performers to assist their storytelling.
Now, with original purpose lost, these masks have gain popularity as home decoration items.
